Precise statement
For the three-dimensional paraboloid $P_3$ over a prime field in which $-1$ is not a square, the Fourier extension operator maps $L^2$ to $L^r$ for $r > 176/51 = 3.45098\ldots$, improving the exponent by combining a bilinear approach with point-line incidence bounds.

What AI did
ChatGPT
The author states he used ChatGPT to help organize the argument and to identify the cutoffs used to optimize the estimates. Choosing those cutoffs is what fixes the exponent, so the contribution touches the result rather than only the write-up.
